Years from now, when society has collapsed and attempts to rebuild, I can see someone, somewhere, digging through the rubble, finding all these promo pieces and inventing a new holiday around all of this.


Marvel has released the variant cover to the upcoming New Mutants #1 featuring the work of Benjamin. He’s kind of like Cher and Madonna, but…you know… not.

Image Comics is taking a cue from Marvel by sending out a one sheet promo for the upcoming Walking Dead.

Marvel has a new viral campaign going for its cosmic Secret Invasion followup, War of Kings. The company released several banners for fans to put on their websites to promote the issue and to promote their own inner geek.
I must say I was pleasently surprised with Marvel including me in its campaign.

Rest of the banners after the jump.
Check out this promotional image for the upcoming Battle for the Cowl storyline, that features a number of people in the Batsuit.

Marvel teased us ealier with the increidble J. Scott Campbell cover for the new Black Panther #1. Now the company sends us this teaser as readers begin to guess who is behind the mask.
Marvel just sent us its latest promo piece for the March to Ultimatum, the huge major shakeup in the Marvel Ultimate Universe (MUU), that will see at least one title cancelled going into next year.

As long as Ultimate Spider-Man isn’t cancelled, I’m happy.
